Domestic Tax Paid Shipments to Wholesalers

The vast majority of the beer consumed by American drinkers is brewed, fermented, packaged, and shipped right here in the United States. In order to track this hugely important segment of the brewing industry, the Beer Institute works with its members, allied associations, syndicated resources, and government agencies to estimate the amount of regular beer (over 0.5% ABV) that is produced and sold domestically.

The reports below are produced on a monthly basis and typically released in the fourth week of the month following the month being reported. Please note that revisions for previous months are indicated on later months’ releases.
